  • Applications

    Rhodinol (CAS 6812-78-8) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery, providing floral and fresh notes and can function as an odorant with occasional minor fixative properties in formulations. It is commonly incorporated into cosmetics and personal care products (creams, lotions, soaps, and scented formulations) to impart fragrance. It is also used in household products such as air fresheners, cleaners, and laundry detergents to contribute a noticeable aroma. In flavor applications, it may be used as an aroma compound in food and beverage formulations where permitted. Additionally, it can be employed in coatings, inks, and adhesives as a scented additive to impart fragrance to consumer products during manufacturing. Its use is typically subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
